Famed for its slow pace, Calvi is perfect in all seasons, demanding nothing of its visitors but to stop by and absorb its natural beauties.

Activities & Experiences

Although most travellers visit Calvi for only one night, it is a must-stop destination for all who make their way to Corsica.

Tucked within the Balagne region of Corsica, Calvi has been inhabited since prehistoric times. Evidence of its history can be found in ruins across the area and the captivating fortified city walls of the Genoese Citadel, built in the thirteenth century. Needless to say, a private yacht charter to Calvi should take in its history.

Genoese Citadel

Calvi’s most historical monument is the Genoese Citadel. Built into rocky headland back in the 13th century and a military outpost in the 15th century, the Genoese Citadel guarded the island and the town from international attack.

Today it serves not only as a captivating backdrop when entering the town, but an exciting old town ripe for exploration through narrow walkways, tunnels and long winding staircases, all set between quaint old residences of another era.

Once at the top, you can take in a magnificent 360° view over the town, arguably one of the most beautiful towns in Corsica.

Saint Jean-Baptiste Cathedral

The Cathedral of St. John the Baptist (Saint Jean-Baptiste) is within the Citadel, also built in the 13th century. This Cathedral was built in the classic Baroque style of the Middle Ages.

Within the Cathedral are a number of artworks, including baptismal fonts, the Christ of Miracles and a polychrome marble altar.

Calvi Beach

While most can appreciate the aesthetic of historical buildings, the history itself does not appeal to all.

Calvi Beach is the perfect vantage point for those of you who prefer to see the historical sites from afar without leaving your spot on the beach..

Calvi and Beyond

Often used as a starting point, a yacht charter in Calvi is best followed by a journey down the West Coast of Corsica, where the unspoilt landscapes and pristine white beaches continue to inspire.

Insider tip: Having travelled this region extensively, we recommend a seven-day West Coast charter from Calvi, stopping at:

The Natural World Heritage Site of Scandola;
The sleepy former fishing village of Girolata;
The birthplace of Napolean Bonaparte, Ajaccio, with its pristine bays and trendy marina;
The soft white sandy beaches of Raccapina;
The limestone cliffs and turquoise waters of Bonafacio; and
The St. Tropez of Corsica, Porto Vecchio, where decidence abounds.
